Biography
Terry Gordon Cameron (born 19 October 1946) is a former South Australian politician.
Cameron entered the South Australian Legislative Council in 1994 to fill an Australian Labor Party vacancy, and then was re-elected as a Labor candidate in 1997. However he resigned from the party in order to support the Olsen Liberal government's legislation to lease ETSA in 1998. After resigning, he formed the short-lived SA First party.
He sought re-election to the Legislative Council at the 2006 election as an independent, but was defeated, finishing second-last among the 25 tickets contesting the election.
Prior to entering parliament, Cameron worked for the Australian Workers' Union before becoming State Organiser of the Australian Labor Party.
